Description
Product Details of 615415-001 HP Smart Array P822
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 is a high-performance, enterprise-class PCI-Express (PCI-E) 3.0 x8 SAS/SATA RAID controller with 2GB FBWC (Flash-Backed Write Cache) that is designed to deliver reliable and secure storage solutions for data-intensive applications. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features and capabilities of this RAID controller.
PCI-E 3.0 X8 SAS/SATA Interface
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 uses a PCI-E 3.0 x8 interface to connect to the server’s motherboard. This interface provides a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 8 GT/s per lane, which translates to a total bandwidth of up to 64 Gbps. This high bandwidth allows the RAID controller to handle large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, making it an ideal solution for data-intensive applications.
SAS/SATA Support
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces. SAS is a high-speed, high-performance interface that is commonly used in enterprise-class storage systems, while SATA is a more cost-effective interface that is commonly used in desktop and consumer-grade storage systems. With support for both interfaces, the Smart Array P822 can be used in a wide range of storage applications, from high-performance servers to desktop PCs.
RAID Levels
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 supports a wide range of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels, including RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60. Each RAID level offers a different level of data protection and performance, making it important to choose the right RAID level for your specific needs. RAID 0, for example, offers no data protection but provides the best performance, while RAID 6 offers the highest level of data protection but lower performance.
2GB FBWC
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 is equipped with 2GB of FBWC, which provides a high-speed cache for frequently accessed data. The cache is backed by flash memory, which ensures that the data is retained even in the event of a power failure. The FBWC helps to improve the overall performance of the RAID controller by reducing the number of disk reads and writes, which can help to extend the life of the disks and improve the reliability of the storage system.
Compatibility
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 is designed to be compatible with a wide range of servers and operating systems. It is compatible with Windows Server 2008 and later, as well as with Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. It is also compatible with a wide range of HP ProLiant servers, including the DL360p Gen8, DL380p Gen8, and ML350p Gen8.
Management Software
The HP 615415-001 Smart Array P822 comes with a range of management software tools that allow you to configure and manage the RAID controller. The HP Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) is a web-based tool that provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing the RAID controller. The SSA allows you to create and manage RAID volumes, configure advanced features such as drive encryption and hot spare support, and monitor the health and performance of the storage system.
